Bong County Electoral District #3 Representative, Josiah Marvin Cole, has launched a fresh political attack on President Joseph Nyuma Boakai’s administration, declaring that removing the Unity Party-led government from power remains the common objective of opposition leaders.
Cole made the statement while welcoming opposition figures Senator Nathaniel F. McGill and former House Speaker Jonathan Fonati Koffa to his residence in Gbarnga, Bong County.
The lawmaker used the occasion to call for stronger unity among opposition politicians, arguing that political differences should not prevent them from working together against the ruling establishment.
According to him, the opposition must remain focused on its shared political objective rather than allowing individual interests and disagreements to weaken its collective strength.
“We can say as opposition leaders, we’ll continue to work together. We’ll continue because the only objective we have is to remove Joseph and his people from power,” Cole said.
His statement appears to reflect increasingly confrontational position of some opposition figures towards the Boakai administration, as political disagreements continue to shape the country’s national conversation. Cole also referenced the previous day’s street parade in Gbarnga following the arrival of Bong County’s allocation of government yellow machines.
The arrival of the equipment attracted public attention, with residents and political supporters participating in activities surrounding the occasion.
The District #3 lawmaker suggested that his presence in the streets during the demonstration had generated considerable attention, indicating that the event had become a subject of discussion within government circles. However, Cole did not provide specific details to support his suggestion that his participation had become a major concern for the administration.
The meeting with McGill and Koffa has come amid efforts by opposition politicians to maintain political engagement and strengthen relationships ahead of future electoral contests.
The opposition’s ability to maintain a common position could become an important factor in its challenge to the ruling Unity Party, particularly as political competition gradually intensifies ahead of the 2029 elections. Although Cole did not disclose a specific political strategy for removing the government, his message was clear: opposition leaders must remain united if they intend to challenge the administration’s political control.
His remarks seem to add another chapter to the growing confrontation between the ruling party and opposition politicians over the direction of Liberia’s leadership.
